Matthew Hartrich FOR Circuit Judge

Meet Matthew

After much prayer and reflection with my wife and family, I am announcing my candidacy for the Republican nomination for the At Large Circuit Judge position in the Second Judicial Circuit of Illinois.

The primary focus of my legal career has been public service. I served as an assistant State’s Attorney in Champaign County, Illinois from 2003 to 2005 and the Crawford County Public Defender from 2005 to 2012.

Since 2012, I have also served as the Crawford County State’s Attorney. My time as the State’s Attorney of Crawford County, Illinois has been especially rewarding as I have prosecuted cases that have removed serious criminal offenders off the streets to protect the community.

Impartial and Fair

I am committed to serving the people of the Second Judicial Circuit of Illinois as a fair and impartial judge

Remember the Date

On March 17, 2020 I will be seeking the Republican nomination
